> more efficient and sane than going for yet another war with data barons and IT (so-called) enterprise architects

Do data barons attempt to replicate silo control within Palantir?

> Foundry is definitely the vision I was expecting from the Linked Data initiative

With this profitable existence proof in the market, are there competing products based on the original open standards for Linked Data?



Truth to be told: data barons rarely consume their own data, and are not at all focused of the data customers needs.

So data customers have simply taken over the Palantir platform and manage the data import, data pipelines and data exposure (both general purpose exposure, and custom project-specific exposures) without caring very much about the data barons. Those ones simply deny the need for such a data integration platform.

So we really are in a situation where users have embraced the platform and live in it on a daily basis, and the barons spend their days pretending that it is a minor useCase.

I am pretty sure PoolParty and some other integration stacks exist. But they lack the insane scalability and the proper stacking of layers that Palantir is implementing.

For the moment, the killing stack that Palantir proposes is:

- Spark

- PipelineBuilder

- OntologyManager

- Workshop

And I see nothing like that anywhere else. [but I would love to]
